Why something will soon have to give in Sheffield Wednesday's goalkeeping department

Dom Howson, Multimedia Sports Reporter

At the end of Wednesday's pre-season programme, two of the club's three senior goalkeepers are going to be left disappointed.

It is an area of the team where the Owls are spoilt for choice, with Keiren Westwood, Joe Wildsmith and Cameron Dawson vying for one position.

But time is rapidly running out for Westwood, Wildsmith and Dawson to demonstrate to manager Jos Luhukay why they deserve to start the Owls' Championship opener at Wigan Athletic on August 4.

Westwood is far and away the most experienced goalkeeper on Luhukay's books but academy graduates Wildsmith and Dawson have acquitted themselves well in the past when they have deputised.

Dawson thought a goalkeeper would leave Hillsborough this summer. No one has moved on so far.

But something will have to give next month when the serious stuff gets under way.

"There are three of us at the minute and we are all just working hard on the training pitch," Dawson told The Star. "I've not really thought about anything else other than coming in every day, working hard and trying to impress."
